Thank you - The thread I used is Glide thread by Fil-Tec, its wonderful. its a high sheen, trilobal polyester. It quilts very nicely. I love it. Just ordered a bunch more online...no one in the valley here sells it....YET. I just realized...I think the sparkle you may be seeing is the white fabric, its that "fairy frost" it does have a sparkle. but anyhow, closer up, looking at the thread it sometimes sparkles as well.

Very nice quilt. I like the idea of mixing the fabric genera. Modern, bold one with the pretty floral print. It works well.

I agree! You're going to do great with the longarm! You've already got the talent. By the way, Fil'tec's Glide works wonderfully in the longarm. I use it almost exclusively now.
